Christmas is single handedly my favourite part of the year. Above everything else, I look forward to christmas the most. Theres something so magical and cozy about the whole of this holiday. Everything seems that bit nicer and happier. I find myself searching for gifts and decorations many months in advance, and I get obsessed about finding the perfect wrapping paper – it cannot ‘just do’. Everything about it is hugely exciting… apart from the shopping. Christmas shopping can be such a stress – trying to figure out the perfect gift for the special people in your life can be a real task.
For my first festive blog’s, I have put together four different gift guides. One for ideas for the women in your life, the men in your life, the little girls in your life and the little boys in your life. I’ve searched my brain in the hope that I can help you get inspiration of what to buy the lovely people in your life for christmas this year. I hope you enjoy reading my blog, and get inspiration from it. I have tried to use different websites and different price ranges to suit the needs of anyone/everyone who is reading these posts.
Today, I start with
‘The Christmas Gift Guide Part 1: Women’
I find that there are several different go to gifts that most women would love to receive. When I buy, I go by the rule that if I’d like to recieve the gift I’ve bought someone, the chances are that they will like them too. I’m sure this isn’t the case for everyone out there, as everyone is very different. However, the people I buy for are all very similar to me, so this is essentially a fail safe strategy. Below are a few ideas to get your brain going… Enjoy xoxo
Tiffany Eau De Parfum, 175ml Gift Set
I think it’s common knowledge that the way to a womans heart is through Tiffany. I appreciate that Tiffany can be quite expensive, so instead of a super expensive piece of jewellery, a beautiful gift set like this one is the next best thing! It’s still at slightly high price, however I know it would be worth it. I know that I’d 100% love to recieve something beautiful like this. You’re on to a winner with this present.
House of Fraser – £110.00

The White Company Winter Pot Pourri
The White Company products smell divine. Along with a beautiful bowl, this would make such an amazing present. I find this is something I wouldn’t neccessarily buy for myself, but would love to have in my house. It seems like a random present to recieve, however I think it’s an extremely sweet stocking filler that wont break the bank, which will enable the recipient to keep their house smelling festive for the forseable future.
The White Company – £16.00

Oliver Bonas Glitter Hair Clips Pack of 2
Oliver Bonas is one of the most fantastic shops on the internet. They sell the most stunning pieces of jewellery, accessories and homewear. This stunning hair clip is such a sweet gift idea. It’s not a generic gift which loads of people will buy for the same person. It’s different to the usual pairs of socks to pop in your loved ones stocking, and it’s something that can be used over and over again. It’s also a statement piece which I’m almost 100% sure that whoever recieves this will love to pieces. This isnt too expensive either, and theres two in a pack which is a bonus!
Oliver Bonas – £9.50

Pandora Happy Reindeer Charm – Pandora Disney Mickey Vintage Hat Charm – Pandora Disney Pinocchio Pendant Charm
Pandora charms are fabulous… as long as the recipient has a Pandora bracelet… obviously. There are so many amazing charms to choose from – so here are a few of my favourites. There is generally something for everyone on the Pandora site. These charms are great gifts as they are something which will be kept forever. They’re of average price and amazing quality.
Pandora – £55 roughly (depending on which charm you choose)

Bath time is a lovely way to wind down from a hard day. Lush make some of the most beautiful bath products on the market. I am obsessed with Lush as a brand. They are against animal testing too which is always a bonus to many people.

Llama Slippers
A novelty gift is always bound to pop a smile on somebodies face. I think these are actually really cute and I bet they’re super warm. Perfect for someone who loves a laugh and gets cold feet. Not too epensive either – maybe not good for somebody who has a dog though as I have found out the hard way that dogs do not particularly love big animal shaped slippers.
